Cracking the Sales Code with an Easy but Sure-win Way

We know it is your benefits, not your product features or advantages, that sell.  But how to sell benefits without being seen as pushy?

Follow this simple but highly effective 'Back-Tracking Benefits' method.

Step 1: Your state your best feature among all your features.

Step 2: You state how this best feature will benefit the customer THE MOST

Step 3: You re-state how this best feature and its benefits will solve the need or problem of the customer

Step 4: You ask questions to get your customer to agree to this need and the solution that your feature provides

Step 5: To close the deal, you leverage to make this need bigger. This means you let the customer know what he can do when this need is solved, like he can reach his aspirations.

Imagine I am selling Apple iPhone 6 + to a Samsung user. 

I select the best feature of Apple: fully integrated software with hardware and how this will prevent the phone from getting hanged and prolong battery life.  I re-state this benefit to the problem my customer has, which could be lack of budget.  I now ask questions to draw out this need, like how you can actually save money when you invest in an iPhone (because you save on cost of changing battery and reduce data cost). To close, I ask the magic question: how he can achieve his dreams and do the impossible when he has a great phone.

"Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
